i'd say you have your answer if the cat is moving on!

you could try getting a male to mark the territory (spray) that might deter cats but there are quite comfy with humans so i dunno!

The best deterrent to a cat in your garden is get your self a cat. :D

My own cats do it, it is annoying, there are sprays you can get but i guess they would put the chooks off as well :(

Cats hate citrus so a few drops of orange oil (from health food shops) should do the trick, although I have no idea whether the chooks would also dislike it.
